PENGUINS SIGN SPALING

The Pittsburgh Penguins and restricted free agent forward Nick Spaling agreed to terms on a two-year, $4.4 million contract, the team announced Thursday.

The sides were scheduled for a salary arbitration hearing in Toronto later Thursday.

The 25-year-old Spaling was acquired by the Penguins from the Nashville Predators on June 28, along with forward Patric Hornqvist, in exchange for forward James Neal.

Spaling had career-bests of 13 goals and 32 points in 71 games with the Predators last season.

A 2007 second-round pick (No. 58) of the Predators, Spaling has 40 goals and 84 points in 297 NHL games, all with Nashville.

DEVILS EXTEND GREENE

The New Jersey Devils re-signed veteran defenseman Andy Greene to a multiyear contract on Wednesday.

The team did not disclose terms of the contract, but Northjersey.com reported the deal to be five years for $25 million. Greene was entering in the final year of a four-year contract he signed in 2011.

The 31-year-old Greene finished last season with a career-high eight goals and 24 assists for 32 points in 82 games. He was among four Devils players to see action in all 82 regular-season games.

"Andy has evolved into an all-situation player and that's a tremendous compliment because there are very few in the League that you can say are all-situation players," Devils general manager Lou Lamoriello said. "He can also play both left and right, depending on what is asked of him.
